A NOVEL kXPE

A novel and possibly hazardous ex-
pertinent IS about to be attempted III
Par.s by James Gordon Bennett, who
occupies the enyiable position OF haV-
ing more money than he knows what
to do with. He has purchased an OBJ
scure Partisan journal, printed in En-
glish, and purposes making q news
paper out of it by introducing Amerl-
can methods into its management and
editing. Whether he succeeds in max
ing the venture financially profitable or
not ne will undoubtedly produce a
newspaper so far superior to tie others
in Paris that it will Immediately find
favor among the English-spcaking res
idents of tie city and among tourists
familiar with that language. 1t is quite
probable, too, that the Partisan mer>
chants will find it to their advantage
TO use the advertising columns of a
paper whose constituency is among the
very people from whom they expect a
large share of their profits. In any
event there is certainly a field in both
Paris and London for a bright paper
conducted on American principles,
and as Mr.. Bennett fortunately has
enough money to render the initial
cost of the undertaking 10 immaterial
consideration. il IS qnite probable that
Americans abroad will not much long
err have to sigh in vain for that which
hey have never yet found on the other
side of the water-a newspaper that
really gives the news.

In the extreme northwestern portion of

condition and the yield and ccrn promises to
be large. III the ntral and southern pa, ts

reports that there has been no drouth of any
consequence and light rams are falling In-

For the last three years there have been
serious droughts in Wisconsin, followed zach
time by serious fires in the northern counties
Until the present season, however, the heavy
damage has been confined to that part of the
state, and losses being among the logcers and
the owners of cranberry marshes in Wood,
Portage and Waupaca counties. The drouth
of this season. which lasted about sixty days,
has caused the greatest loss to farmers in that
part Of the state lying south of Fond du &C
from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river,
where the farmers have had double aiilic-
tion-damage to growing crops for lack ofrain

railroad limos, have in many ins tances COM

Tho prospect month ago was for heavy
crop of corn, and the rate Of yield was above
the average. It's condition in all tho states of
tho Atlantic coast is now unimpaired, and of
very high promise in Texas aud Tennessee.
The condition has declined materially in the
central corn region, however, in the valley of
the Missouri, whore two-twirds of the crop is
grown, and where the commercial supply is
procured, very heavy reduction has t;ker
place, which has made the national average
S07 instead Of 81 last month. Tho cause is
the long continued drouth, which has been Sc
verest in Kausas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio aud
